Section D: Homecoming
While the first half of senior year wrapping up is usually cause for joy, for the Rangers it brings nothing but heartache. While Brick has to deal with an offer by Lord Zedd and the others undergo psychic psychological warfare, the truth about Quentin is revealed and also that Area 52 is the worst place in Angel Grove. By design.
